Re: Late Summer Open Mirror-Interest?
Hi all I just saw this thread; I emailed Cody a few days ago about hosting, but he hasn't replied. I'll keep you posted, unless there's a large preference to host it elsewhere (in Missouri).

I've also created a second chance bracket group to fill out new brackets for the remaining games. Group name and password are the same as before. I'll give a book prize to the winner of this one also.
